These connections are made possible through official addons developed by EasyCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without an API key, EasyCommerce and the third-party service cannot verify your identity, which is required to establish a secure connection between your store and the external service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your privacy matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that <strong>the API key does not give access to your store\u2019s data<\/strong> without your consent.
